This was a great volume in terms of how it handles both of the love triangles. Yuki being able to see how Itsuomi & Oushi have gotten close is great to see. As Itsuomi knows, she cares for Oushi. Of course, for Oushi, how he is handled and gets to move is well done. Him realizing his feelings too late and how pushy he is are something you can empathize with. Though for Oushi he is a great group of friends, and it is clear that Izumi looks at him similarly to how he views Yuki.
Meanwhile, for Itsuomi, Shin & Emma, it feels like the tension is finally gone. The concern from Shin of Emma looking at Itsuomi first is something you can understand. But now she’s declaring her feelings for Shin were good because now their feelings for each other are out in the open. Much like how Yuki doesn’t lose her friendship with Oushi, Itsuomi doesn’t lose his friendship with Emma here. Very nice how all of this is handled.
